Guest blogging

I've owed Body Impolitic a guest post for months, but between being over-committed and not being able to get my ideas in order, I didn't get round to doing this until recently, when the news that 'overweight is actually healthy' catalysed the various thoughts I'd been playing around with. This seemed to me yet another of those instances where medicine and popular opinion believe that something that is not actually pathological and pretty much within the normal range of healthy human variations is something terrible and to be feared and fought against.
